City: Start practicing Chinese martial arts

Chapter 256 Murong Qiudi

At this moment, in the spacious, bright and magnificent hall of Zhang's mansion, several figures were sitting upright, seemingly discussing something of vital importance in a low voice.

I saw that the person sitting on the main seat was a middle-aged man. He had a tall and strong figure, and his brows revealed an aura of majesty without anger.

This middle-aged man is Zhang Sanniang's biological father and the head of the Zhang family.

Opposite him sat a beautiful woman dressed in gorgeous sable fur.

Her long hair was piled high, like a blooming black peony, which made her face look even more exquisite and picturesque.

However, her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of sadness and fragility, as if she had experienced countless hardships, which made people feel pity. This unique temperament gave people a fragile beauty like glass.

Behind this beautiful woman stood several young women with equally outstanding looks.

Some of them have graceful figures, some have rosy faces, and each of them exudes youthful vitality and charming charm.

Master Zhang frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the graceful and beautiful woman before him. He asked with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Murong Qiudi, are you really capable of protecting my daughter? This is no small matter!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his hands unconsciously, and it was obvious that he was very worried.

Murong Qiudi nodded slightly, her red lips parted as she spoke, "Master Zhang, you have a deep friendship with our Murong family. How could I possibly deceive you about such a thing? Besides, with my martial arts skills and abilities, protecting your daughter should be no problem."

Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet it also revealed an unquestionable firmness.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, his wife also came from the Murong family, and she got along quite well with Murong Qiudi on weekdays.

Thinking of this, he had more trust in Murong Qiudi.

However, Master Zhang couldn't help but sigh, lamenting, "I wonder why the enigmatic Tianji Pavilion Master came up with such a list of beauties and weapons. Now, the entire martial arts world, and indeed the world itself, has been turned upside down. There will be no peace!"

He shook his head, his face full of worry, as if he could see the impending storm.

Upon hearing this, Murong Qiudi did not say anything, but a cold light suddenly flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Obviously, she was extremely dissatisfied with the stunning list made by the master of Tianji Pavilion.

At the same time, she came to Zhang's house with an important purpose - that is to persuade Zhang Sanniang to join the Tianzun organization led by her.

You know, if it were in the past, Murong Qiudi would still have doubts about whether he could successfully recruit Zhang Sanniang into the Tianzun organization and was not completely sure.

However, times have changed, and the current situation in the martial arts world has undergone earth-shaking changes.

With his accurate judgment of the current situation and the continuous improvement of his own strength, Murong Qiudi believes that he now has a great chance of persuading Zhang Sanniang to become a member of the Tianzun organization.

Just as everyone was thinking about it, in a moment, a clear and loud long cry suddenly resounded throughout the sky above the Zhang Mansion.

This sudden sound was like thunder, instantly breaking the original quiet atmosphere.

After hearing this long cry, the people present couldn't help but frown, and an indescribable feeling of unease surged in their hearts.

Then they exchanged glances quickly with each other, as if they were conveying some information with their eyes.

Then, almost as if by telepathy, everyone took steps together and hurriedly walked out of the house.

As soon as they stepped out of the room, everyone looked up at the sky at the same time.

I saw a mysterious creature of extremely huge size standing in the air like a small hill.

Its appearance is very similar to that of an eagle, but it is several times larger than an ordinary eagle and exudes a heart-pounding aura.

The wings of this mysterious creature are broad and powerful, and every flap can bring up a whistling sound of the wind.

At this moment, it was rushing towards us from the distant sky at an astonishing speed, like a falling meteor across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the mysterious creature was already approaching the sky above the courtyard below.

With a sudden dive, it rushed straight towards the courtyard like an arrow.

The powerful impact instantly raised layers of dust from the ground, as if a sandstorm had suddenly arrived.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden change and for a moment forgot to react.

When they came to their senses, the mysterious creature had already landed steadily in the courtyard.

As it landed, the entire courtyard trembled, the stone slabs on the ground broke, and countless gravel and dust were splashed.

However, before everyone could fully recover from their shock, an even more shocking scene occurred—

Just as everyone was about to attack this mysterious creature, a clear and loud sound suddenly came from its back.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

The sound was like the sound of a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, so melodious and lingering that it made people feel happy when they heard it.

As soon as he finished speaking, a light and agile figure jumped down from the back of the mysterious creature.

After the person stood firmly, everyone looked closely and found that it was a young and beautiful woman.

She was wearing a white long dress, with a graceful and elegant figure; her long, shiny black hair fluttered in the wind, making her look as pure and elegant as a fairy descending to earth.

At this moment, when Master Zhang saw the visitor's face clearly, he immediately showed an ecstatic look on his face and shouted excitedly: "Sanniang, you are finally back!"

He walked forward in two steps, his eyes full of kindness.

Mrs. Zhang, who was standing nearby, reacted quickly upon seeing this scene. She also walked forward with a smile on her face, and the kindness in her eyes was even greater than that of Mr. Zhang.

Afterwards, Master Zhang calmed down a bit, but he couldn't hide his concern. He hurriedly asked Zhang Sanniang, "Sanniang, you've been traveling so hard. Did you encounter any danger? I've been worried all day, afraid that something might happen to you."

As he said this, his brows furrowed slightly and his eyes revealed deep worry.

Zhang Sanniang's expression changed slightly when she heard her father's question, as if she recalled the various dangers she had encountered before. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Dad, to be honest, we did encounter a lot of dangers along the way. We nearly lost our lives several times. You almost never saw your precious daughter again."

When she said this, her voice trembled unconsciously, and it was obvious that she was still afraid.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, her heart instantly rose to her throat. She quickly took a few steps forward and asked with a worried look on her face, "Oh, my dear daughter, are you hurt? What if you were hurt?"

At this moment, she was extremely anxious and wanted to check whether Zhang Sanniang was injured immediately. The same was true for Mr. Zhang beside her.

Hearing this, Zhang Sanniang gently shook her head and hurriedly comforted them, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I was able to escape danger this time thanks to Lin Tian's help."

"Lin Tian?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Mr. Zhang couldn't help but look at Zhang Sanniang with some confusion, wondering in his heart who this person was.
